arnie "chowhound" chapman

Meet "The Chowhound." Originally from Texas, now of Oceanside, N.Y., Arnie Chapman, 45, destroyed the competition today at the Carnegie Deli's annual pickle-eating contest by ralphing down 2.8 pounds of sour pickles in five minutes. While shy of the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) record of 2.99 pounds set in 2004 by Ed "Cookie" Jarvis, Chapman's feast beat every other eater by at least half a pound.

Check out Chapman's two-handed technique; what appeared to be his near "tipping point;" his pickle necklace; and a celebratory pose with friends.

Chapman wet his chops in the U.S. Army (1979-83) and now works for New York state assisting blind individuals. What a great demeanor, quick with a smile, an all-around fun guy.

Ladies and gentlemen, the comments of the jealous 'Beautiful' Brian who would've had his ass wiped by Chapman in this contest if he weren't such an IFOCE suck ass.

Arnold Chapman is without a doubt the best Pickle eater, if not the best eater all together, of all time. Kobyashi wouldn't dare face off against this man. Its a good thing you live in Japan Kobyashi.
